On early Wednesday morning, the sky near the Georgia-Tennessee border lit up brighter than the moon — twenty times brighter.
“Recorded by all six NASA cameras in the Southeast, this fireball was one of the brightest observed by the network in 5 years of operations,” NASA wrote in a release. “From Chickamauga, Georgia, the meteor was 20 times brighter than the Full Moon; shadows were cast on the ground as far south as Cartersville.” (NASA defines a fireball as a meteor that appears brighter in the night sky than the planet Venus).
